For the second half of this two-part series, I continue digging into the drama regarding these popular home renovation reality television shows and the lessons that can be learned from an interior designer's point of view.

In this episode, I share why working on your own renovation projects is totally different from working with clients, how to get more experience if you're still new to the industry, and the importance of not cutting corners in construction.

Be sure to listen all the way to the end of this episode, as I recorded another brief update after my initial recording. Parts of this story are still moving very quickly, and I wanted to make you aware of the latest happenings as I get them.

If you haven't already done so, be sure to go back and listen to part one of this series, where I discuss the red flags homeowners need to look out for to avoid the disasters that others have experienced. You don't want to miss either of these episodes.

A topic has come up in the home renovation space recently that I felt was important to dive into on the podcast. It is something that I have been concerned about for a long time which is these popular home renovation reality television shows. Because there is just so much to unpack on this subject, I am breaking it up into two separate episodes.
